The home is a perfect Venice retreat! Location is perfect for everything Venice: beaches, restaurants, shopping, events. You name it, Julie's home has it! Wonderfully appointed kitchen was great when the mood stuck to cook at home. Beds are comfortable and linens nice. The split bedroom layout is perfect to keep the snorers separated. Julie responds quickly to every communication and couldn't be nicer. The huge yard was great and loved by the pup too! Best part? The art! Loved this home! Hope to stay again someday.

Very comfortable home !
My family and I stayed at Julie's house for a couple months while relocating to the area. The house has 2 master bedrooms with a bathroom in each room. There is a full kitchen that is stocked with everything you need. The living room is very large with beautiful windows and there is a sun room that leads out to the huge fenced in yard. There is a really cool outdoor shower and fruit trees. We did have our 2 dogs who also loved the yard.The beach was less then 5 miles away and close to restaurants and shopping. Julie was very responsive to any questions and extremely flexible when we needed to extend our stay. Overall the house would be perfect for any type of stay couples or a family !

Great stay
Well equipped, clean home with nice artwork, fabulous large backyard, and great location. Easy access to the fantastic Legacy bike/walking trail and only minutes to beaches and downtown Venice. Julie was a fantastic host - VERY responsive in helping to solve a couple of problems that cropped up. Overall, we had a great time and we'll be back in 2025. Thanks Julie!

Convenient spot in South Venice
We spent two months at Julie’s house. It was exactly as shown in the listing; well equipped and in good working order. Beds were comfortable, and wifi was fast and reliable. Julie was easy to communicate with, and the location was very convenient to the bike trail, the beaches, all types of shopping, restaurants, and downtown.

Just right
Had a real nice Three week stay here. Everything is as described. Great yard for tossing ball with our dog, kitchen very well equipped and TV in every room, although we only viewed the one in LR. Several nice places to stroll (Shamrock Park and close proximity to a walkway along canal) make reservations at “Fins” restaurant; food, service and sunsets are wonderful. Many other nice restaurants just minutes away, like “Bonefish”.
Shop in Venice (20 minutes away). Saturdays The Farmer’s Market in Venice is very enjoyable with lotsa food vendors.
No disappointments!

Perfect place!
We stayed for a lengthy time while working the most recent storm and needed a location to do our desk work and the house couldn't have been more perfect! Super clean, nice comfy beds and the bikes were super fun to scoot around town! Highly recommend!

Venice getaway
The property was lovely inside and out! Quiet but friendly neighborhood. Close to local beaches, shopping and restaurants! The house was so cute and equipped with everything we needed. Beautiful artwork and wood carvings. It felt like home❤️
Really large fenced in shady backyard that was perfect for our dog Charlotte to run free. We were supposed to stay for a month but our time was cut short by hurricane Ian. Our hosts were fantastic to work with! We will visit again! Prayers for Florida 🙏🙏

Perfect location to be near the Dog beach
I was looking for a location near the Brohard Paw Park (dog beach) and this was it. Only 10 min (by car) fm the beach and as a bonus we were 4 min fm the shopping area.
The property location is perfect for summer fun. Quiet neighborhood for chilling out and getting away from it all. Beautiful Spanish moss-draped oak tree canopy for shade and privacy, epic sunsets. The outdoor shower and sunroom are irresistible. Couldn’t have found a better place for a quiet getaway.

Dog friendly home
Excellent set up for bringing a dog. I brought two small ones along with our pooper scooper and it was the perfect back yard for them.
Felt very comfortable there. Kitchen and bathrooms were well furnished. The furniture was family friendly. The house was nicely laid out and well decorated. All the original artwork was beautiful and fun to be around! The yard and deck were a comfortable plus for eating outside. The neighbor was very quiet and safe.
